While the files are provided to you, it does not imply technical support on the part of LSI Logic should any problems arise during the use or operation of these drivers. For the following reasons, LSI Logic highly recommends that you contact either the place whereyou purchased your system or the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)of your system's motherboard for technical issues pertaining to SDMS.Please note the following information:

* LSI Logic works with its OEM customers to correct any anomalies that may occur within the complex interaction of the operating system, driver, BIOS and hardware. Your OEM is most aware of these interactions and would be the one most capable of diagnosing a problem and, if necessary, working with LSI Logic to correct it. It is the experience of LSI Logic that what appears to be a LSI Logic SCSI problem often is not and is indeed a system or software installation problem.

* By contacting the OEM for support, you will be assured of receiving the latest SDMS BIOS and drivers that have been verified, certified, and licensed by your OEM on that OEM's hardware platform.

Info

Installing sym-1.7.3/ncr-3.4.3:-------------------------------As result of untaring sym-1.7.3-ncr-3.4.3.tar.gz, the following files should have been created in the directory `sym-1.7.3-ncr-3.4.3):

The driver should work on linux-2.2.X for X >= 14, linux-2.3.X for X >= 51.It should also work on earliest linux-2.4.X (X low enough).

Installation of the drivers proceeds as follows:

1) Copy (or move) all drivers files to the drivers/scsi subdirectory of your linux kernel tree. You may also backup previous driver files if you want to be able to revert the driver update. Usually, the directory to copy the file is: /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi

This file describes the features and use of the LSI Logic SDMS device drivers for the Windows 2000 operating system environment. SDMS driverscontain the same filename for different Windows operating systems. Thedriver files are packaged either in separate subdirectories based on theWindows operating system or on different flex disks.

To determine the driver file for Windows 2000, note that the filename ends with ".sys". For example, SYMC8XX.SYS. (The same is true for Windows NT 4.0)To determine the operating system version, go into Windows Explorer, display the driver file, right click on the filename, click on Properties,and click on the Version tab. Finally, click on the Internal Filename in thelower section. For Windows 2000, the filename appears as filename (NT 5.0).For example, SYMC8XX.SYS (NT 5.0).

Windows 2000 is an operating system designed to run on Intel-architectureprocessors using current technology. It provides a graphical user interfaceenvironment incorporating many high-level features (refer to the MicrosoftWindows 2000 documentation for details). An I/O manager handles I/O requestsin Windows 2000. To address a SCSI peripheral, the I/O manager goes throughthe appropriate drivers. Class drivers for hard disk, floptical, CD-ROM,printer, and scanner peripherals are provided in Windows 2000.

Other class drivers, provided by peripheral manufacturers, may be addedto support new devices. Tape device support is built into the operating system itself and does not require a class driver. Microsoft provides theport driver and LSI Logic provides the miniport drivers. The LSI Logicminiport drivers, SYMC8XX.SYS and SYM_HI.SYS, are bundled with Windows2000. The LSI Logic miniport drivers, SYM_895A.SYS and SYM_U3.SYS,are non-bundled drivers. All LSI Logic miniport drivers are used tocomplete the path to an LSI Logic SCSI controller or processor with anoptional SDMS SCSI BIOS. This document describes these drivers and theirinstallation.

This file describes the features and use of the LSI Logic SDMS device drivers for the Windows NT 4.0 operating system environment. LSI Logic uses the same filenames for their drivers for different Windows operatingsystems. The driver files are packaged either in separate subdirectoriesbased on the Windows operating system or on different flex disks.

To determine the driver file for Windows NT 4.0, note that the filename ends with ".sys". For example, SYMC8XX.SYS.

Windows NT 4.0 is an operating system designed to run on processors using current technology. It provides a graphical user interface environmentincorporating many high-level features (refer to the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0documentation for details).

Other class drivers, provided by peripheral manufacturers, may be added to support new devices. Tape device support is built into the operating system itself and does not require a class driver. Microsoft provides the portdriver and LSI Logic provides the miniport drivers, which are calledSYMC8XX.SYS, SYM_HI.SYS, and SYM_U3.SYS.
